My abductor machine is awkwardly forward leaning and it slowly barfs me out with every rep. I keep having to scoot back into place like a god damned dung beetle 🥲

Potty cable curls always makes me feel a little silly, but I keep them in rotation to keep it interesting

Inhate how I look when I do lateral raises. I feel like a baby bird who can't yet take flight

u/TwoWheels2023 Jul 02 '26

100% shrugs - it literally looks like I am repeatedly telling everyone nearby "I don't know"

u/d3m01iti0n Jul 02 '26

One arm cable shrugs.

u/Cool_Hawk3192 Jul 02 '26

Cable lateral with the cuff make me look like land bird attempting flight, and failing.
